Chemical composition, and insecticidal activities of four plant essential oils from Morocco against larvae of Helicoverpa armigera (Hub.) under field and laboratory conditions
Aromatic and medicinal plants are a rich source of molecules with insecticidal activities against many insect pests. The present study investigated the insecticidal activities of four essential oils against the third instar ...
The Chickpea Pod Borer, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner): Yield Loss Estimation and Biorational Insecticide Assessment in Morocco
Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) is considered one of the most destructive insect pests of chickpea crops in Morocco; however, the extent of the yield loss it causes in Morocco is unknown. This study assessed the yield losses ...

Wheat breeding for Hessian fly resistance at ICARDA
Hessian fly (HF), Mayetiola destructor (Say) is an important pest of wheat in North Africa, North America, Southern Europe, Northern Kazakhstan, Northwestern China, and New Zealand. It can cause up to 30% yield losses and ...
Exploratory Survey of Lixus algirus L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and Its Natural Enemies in Morocco
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is one of the most important food legumes, and it is grown in Morocco under rainfed conditions. This crop is cultivated for use in both human food and animal feed and has a high protein content ...
Insect Resistance
Studies to-date have shown the availability of enough genetic diversity in the wheat genetic resources (land races, wild relatives, cultivars, etc.) for resistance to the most economically important insect pests such as ...
Effect of chickpea genotypes on Liriomyza cicerina oviposition preference and insect performance
Chickpea Leaf miner, Liriomyza cicerina Rond., behavior was investigated regarding the oviposition preference and insect performance. In choice situation, the insect was able to discriminate among the presented cultivars ...
Chemical Composition and Insecticidal Potential of Six Essential Oils from Morocco against Dactylopius opuntiae (Cockerell) under Field and Laboratory Conditions
The prickly pear Opuntia ficus-indica L. has an important economic role as a
source of food for human consumption, for cosmetic and pharmaceutical purposes, and as fodder
for livestock in Morocco. This crop is now attacked ...
Entomopathogenic fungi as biological control agents of Dactylopius opuntiae (Hemiptera: Dactylopiidae) under laboratory and greenhouse conditions
The cactus Opuntia ficus-indica L. is widly cultivated in Morocco and has a very an important economic role as a source of food, livestock feed and not forgetting that it is considered to be an income for people in rural ...
Genetic dissection of Hessian fly resistance in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) using genome-wide association study in Morocco
Hessian fly (HF), Mayetiola destructor (Say), is an important wheat insect pest that annually results in significant production losses. In Morocco, this insect reduces wheat yields by 32–36 % during drought years. The ...
